Some people are just born like this. He reminds me of my brother. I remember being like 7 and my brother was 11 and he told me that women are only good for having boobs and making food. He's never outgrown this mindset. My parents were fine. Very strong liberal ideologies, always helping people, my mom was a feminist. I turned out okay. He was born broken. The doctor in the hospital even gave him to my mom as a baby and said good luck with this one.
My brother is "ultra-masculine." I got my nephew a meemeow (little stuffed cat toy a youtuber makes) for Christmas because he likes them, and it had pink on the box. The first thing out of his mouth is, "Who got my son a girl toy?" He calmed down after I explained it's just a stuffed cat, but JFC, I find it hard to believe we come from the same family. My nephew is 9 for the record
I used to work for Toys R Us a long time ago and after my first Christmas season there we had some guy bring in a Fisher-Price or Little Tykes kitchen set somebody gave his son for Christmas because he “did not want his son playing with a kitchen set!” I also seem to remember a manager that had to get one of the collector Barbies out of the locked room the expensive stuff was in and the guy who bought it insisted that she put it in multiple bags to hide the pink. The way she made it sound, it’s wasn’t to hide it as a gift so much as it was that he did not want to be seen carrying a bag with an obviously Barbie pink box that was visible.
Some of the best chefs in the world…are men…and play in kitchens…🤷♂️ I’ve got no son, but would love any kid of mine to cook for friends and family or for a living or for the pure joy of it. A toy kitchen set is a perfect aspirational play for kids.
